Obadiah waved off Tatsuya as he stopped to check on her well being. She was fine, for now. The storm had already reached Nipton, unnaturally fast, and from what she could hear, Obadiah knew the town was already destroyed. And then, just as quickly as the storm materialized and tore through, it stopped. "No average storm. The Fires have flared in vengeance." She nodded, satisfied with the explanation. She stepped up from her position sitting on the floor, to approach the stairs leading up and out of the cellar. She pushed open the door, and stepped out into the remains of Nipton.

Obadiah's guess was right; there was hardly anything left of Nipton. There was naught but piles of shattered rubble, and the foundations of buildings to mark where a small town once stood. "The storm is over." Obadiah called down to her comrade. "Come, there is yet more Legion to hunt." She stepped out onto the street, watching as a few of the braver townsfolk stepped out from their shelters. [i]"Let this be lesson. The world hates those who submit so willingly."[/i] Obadiah thought with satisfaction over Nipton's grim fate. With no true town left, those that lived there would surely scatter to the wind, and any who tried to rebuild would simply prolong the place's death, and speed their own.
